If voting didn’t have real power, the weirdos wouldn’t work so hard to keep you from being able to.

    This is election fraud, not voter fraud though, no?

    What do you consider to be the difference? According to wikipedia the two terms are synonymous:

    Electoral fraud

    Electoral fraud, sometimes referred to as election manipulation, voter fraud, or vote rigging, involves illegal interference with the process of an election, either by increasing the vote share of a favored candidate, depressing the vote share of rival candidates, or both.

      In the US at least, voter fraud is things like voting when you’re not eligible or voting more than once. Electoral fraud is things like rigging the election or illegal campaign funding.

      Vote fraud not voter fraud, covers elections and intimidating voters at the polls to my understanding. I’m happy to be corrected.

        The person to whom I responded made a distinction between “election fraud” and “voter fraud” (not “vote fraud”). According to wikipedia, “electoral fraud” and “voter fraud” are synonymous. “Vote fraud” redirects to the same page.
